Doomsday Totem

Chapter 587 Li Wei
"Take it!" The squadron leader took a few steps back and shouted to the power armor fighters around him.

Upon hearing the order, the power armor warriors immediately drew out their tactical daggers, injected spiritual energy, and stabbed towards the iron slag.What they are waiting for is now, in the official name, to kill each other with spiritual weapons.

Iron Slag had already seen through their thoughts, made a decisive decision, gave up chasing and killing the squadron leader, turned around and rushed to the side, like an arrow flying from the string, clenched his iron fist, and with a "bang", the No. 1 power armor soldier was blown away with one punch .His helmet was dented, and the whole person rolled in mid-air. .

At the same time, he kicked at the No. 2 power armor warrior who raised his dagger high.In the next second, he saw his steel leggings made of "guard-level" ultra-density alloy, kicking firmly on the opponent's lower abdomen.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the power armor soldier sprayed a mouthful of blood on the protective glass, rolling continuously on the ground like a big iron ball, bringing up a lot of ice slag.

In the blink of an eye, Iron Slag severely injured two opponents.Although he can't beat the holy rank, it's still very easy to deal with these small miscellaneous fish.Especially in this environment, the opponent cannot use heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and hand-held cannons. He can bring down a large area in melee combat.

Seeing their teammates being knocked into the air, the remaining power armor fighters froze at the same time, hesitated for half a second.

Iron Slag didn't give them a chance to be dazed, and after killing the two of them, he went down immediately.I saw that his figure was as fast as lightning, and the snow was flying all over the ground when he stepped on it, blasting the No.3 power armor warrior head-on.

A Power Armor warrior on the side recovered from the shock, and stabbed Iron Slag's neck with a knife.But seeing the latter turn around and sweep over with a punch, he immediately swept him with a knife like a spinning windmill and flew out.The remaining three Power Armor fighters showed panic, they all stopped and gathered together subconsciously.

Iron Slag squinted his eyes, paused for a moment, arched his back, and shot out suddenly, with crimson flames spewing out from behind, and with a "fire", it hit the three of them directly.

"Bang!"

There was only a loud bang, and the three of them staggered and fell in different directions like plastic bottles hit by a bowling ball.

Seeing that the members of the Red Tiger Army were knocked down instantly, the squadron leader turned around and ran away with the soldiers.But before he ran far, a strong wind suddenly passed over his head, and then he was thrown to the ground and covered with a slap.His eyes suddenly went dark, and he was beaten until his eyes stared at him. Blood and teeth were sprayed on the snow, which was shocking.

Tie Slag grabbed the squadron leader's collar, lifted it up, and said in a deep voice, "Listen, I'm Quinn from the Black Wolf Army. When I go back and find out, I'll trouble us again." The captain threw it on the ground, jumped into the air, and flew towards the camp.

Two hours later, the squadron leader and the head of the Red Tiger Army came to the command camp with their heads covered in gauze.

"Find out for me, what is the origin of that black wolf army!" The squadron leader yelled at the adjutant while covering his swollen cheek.

Not long after, the adjutant called up the information of the Black Wolf Mercenary Corps from the information database of Fengsha Castle.The more he watched, the more frightened he became, so he said to the officer, "Captain, this legion is not simple."

"What's wrong?" The squadron leader frowned.

"They are in Desert No. [-], and they have two fortresses..." the adjutant said.

"What's that?" the squadron leader said disdainfully, no matter how big the mercenary group is, it is no bigger than the garrison under the World Congress.

"No, that's not the point..." The adjutant's voice trembled slightly, "One of their fortresses is called Hirano..."

"Hirano?" The squadron leader asked doubtfully.

"The fortress of the former Sakata Company." The adjutant explained.

The squadron leader pondered for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "It turned out that they were the ones who wiped out Sequoia and Sakata overnight!"

"There is also the Bailey Foundation, which is closely related to the Starlight Temple, and the No. 13 Storm Fortress in Silver City." The adjutant added.

"Fuck!" The squadron leader glared at the head of Chihu and cursed, "Is your head filled with straw? It's too bad to offend such a person when you first came here!"

"I..." Captain Chihu said with a bitter face, "Boss, didn't you say that our family is a sparrow..."

"Stop talking!" Seeing that Captain Chihu had slipped his tongue, the squadron leader hurriedly interrupted him, "Go to your superiors for such a trivial matter, and they will tell you to pack up and leave immediately!"

"Then what should we do, the brothers were beaten like this?" Chi Hu asked.

"What else can I do, I have to endure it, what are you!" the squadron leader scolded.

"I don't care, I can't swallow this breath." Chief Chihu said through gritted teeth.They are all psykers who left the Far East and became the nobles of Silver City, so they think highly of themselves.Even before becoming an aristocrat, I already felt that my status was different from ordinary people and that I was extremely noble.If you suffer a loss, you will naturally want to save face.They were born in the Far East and are deeply influenced by the "face" culture.But they don't know that the real Yincheng nobles regard face as nothing, and they can compromise at any time for the sake of profit.When encountering an invincible enemy, the first time they will choose to win over rather than fight.

"It's your fault if you can't swallow it, don't come to me, get out!" the squadron leader roared.Although he is also from the Far East, he has been outside for a long time and knows when to be strong and when to compromise.When encountering such iron plate, it is best to avoid it and stop conflicts.The opponent's diamond-level combat power alone is enough for him to have a headache. God knows what else is hidden behind him.Forget it with Sakata Industry, he can make a medium-sized company like Sequoia collapse in an instant, and his strength is definitely not something he can afford.Even if there are big shots in Sparrow City above him, it is impossible to act recklessly.

For those big men, interests always come first, and when the two evils are less serious, he, the small squadron leader, must be sacrificed first.What's more, they were the ones who took the initiative to provoke the incident. If those big shots knew about it, they might have eliminated him as an unstable factor in the first place.When the subordinate's ability to cause trouble is greater than the ability to handle affairs, in the eyes of the upper management, it is dross and waste, rotten meat that must be cut off.When dealing with it, I'm afraid it is more vicious and ruthless than dealing with the enemy.

"Brother, you are..." Captain Chihu raised his head, looking a little dull.

Seeing that the former was stunned by his yelling, the squadron leader sighed and comforted him, "Hold it for now, and look for opportunities later."

"Brother, our faces have been smashed to pieces, what will we do in the future?" Chi Hu's head looked sad.In his eyes, once he suffered a loss and couldn't get back his position, others would look down on him and disrespect him.It has to be said that this is the tragedy of the Far East. People in the Far East pay too much attention to superficial things and follow what others say.The first impression often determines their attitude, so in many cases, the appearance is more important than the inside.Because they don't have enough patience and wisdom to understand a person, make judgments only through appearances, and regard them as truth.

For example, many Far East businessmen would rather take out loans with high interest rates to buy luxury cars in order to support their "front".But in fact, except for the Far East businessmen, other regions or high-end businessmen only pay attention to the transaction itself, and don't care what kind of car the other party drives or what the appearance is.

In fact, it is not that the Far Eastern merchants are not wise, or the Far Eastern philosophers and leaders are not wise, but the problems caused by thousands of years of traditional customs.The lowest base with the largest base has limited education, so they don't have enough wisdom to distinguish between the illusory appearance and the real inner.

This "face" phenomenon starts from the bottom of the society, and gradually spreads and spreads to the middle and high levels.Although many middle and high-level people have enough wisdom, they have to make concessions because of the overall environmental problems, and use "appearance" to package themselves, so as to win the awe of the people at the bottom.

Just like two hours ago, when that Power Armor soldier entered the tent, he wanted to show his social status through strong intervention and "arrogant tone. Having the privilege of not needing to queue up is equivalent to being very face-saving and superior to others. As a result, Iron Slag did not Concession, ignoring his privileges of the strong, so he felt that he had lost face, so he secretly accumulated energy, trying to teach Tie Slag a lesson in order to regain face, but in the end he was knocked half to death. After that, a series of revenge actions by the Red Tiger Army , all to save face.

It was originally a very small matter, but they made it bigger and bigger. Everything was because of "face".

Face contains extreme vanity and the dark view of "being unknown is justice", which can be said to be a tragedy in the Far East for thousands of years.Everyone lives under a false mask and thinks that the whole world is like this, which finally creates the status quo of their technological backwardness.

Because modern science must be rigorous, must "seek truth from facts", cannot tolerate half falsehood, and has nothing to do with face, but only with the sense of honor.

During the period dominated by the glorious flame, the Far East once developed in a good direction.People began to gradually abandon the "face for others" and pursue the "sense of self-glory" that comes from the heart.But as soon as the flame of glory was extinguished, they began to retreat again, and they valued the appearance of "face" more than anything else.

"The future is long, isn't the war just beginning?" the squadron leader said meaningfully.

Captain Chihu was silent for a long time, finally nodded and sighed, "Okay..."

On the other hand, after Tie Slag returned to the camp, he immediately contacted Zhao Wenke and asked him to find out information about the Red Tiger Army.

About half an hour later, a simple report was sent to Iron Slag's communicator.

[The Red Tiger Legion, a mercenary group of the Red Snake Clan in the Far East, has 26 psychics, generally second to third rank, head Chi Yongbin, 29 years old, active in the bottomless abyss all year round...]
After reading the report, Tie Slag forwarded it to Bitianye and dialed her voice, "If it's convenient, warn them for me not to come looking for death."

"Are you sure?" Bitianye asked.

"Sure." Iron Slag said.

"Okay." Bitianye responded obediently.
